Wat Phra Ngam วัดพระงาม - Portal Of Time - Ayutthaya Thailand 2024

Wat Phra Ngam วัดพระงาม.

Wat Phra Ngam or the Monastery of the Beautiful Buddha is located off the city island in the western area of Ayutthaya. The monastery is situated north of Wat Pom Yai along the Chao Phraya River.

It is a classic temple consisting of an ordination hall (ubosot), a vihara and a few kuti. The temple area is prone to flooding as it lies in the western lowlands of Ayutthaya along the river.

Its foundation is set around 1557. There is hardly anything known about its history. For a long time the temple was in bad shape and because of Royal donations the temple was finally renovated in 1971.

Special at this temple are the ancient boundary stones (bai sema) around the ordination hall and the small chedi in front of the ubosot in which a Bodhi three has nestled. The chedi has four little satellite chedis standing at its corners. The main entry gate on the was side is completely overgrown by a tree making it one of the best photo spots in the old capital.

It’a great little temple and very popular for thais to come and visit it for photos.
